Yes, and my question is why is it standard, why should it be done? Just because something is standard doesn’t mean it makes sense, could you explain why it should be done?
Most barbers are independent and have to rent a booth from another business. The business usually sets the prices. So, they can’t just adjust their prices accordingly. Also, out of the $20 you pay them, they have to pay a portion back to cover booth rent, buy materials, pay for healthcare, etc. Tip is often their actual wage after costs.

Is that only barbers’ problem? Why only barbers? What about cosmetic salons or i dunno repair guys etc ?
People tip at salons too
I meant it in context of OP. > Barbers can’t change their prices etc
Sounds like they should unionize.
Go help them then
